Hello Everyone,

My name is Graham. I am pretty new to all this, and I am really excited to give this stuff a go. Chief recommended I answer a few questions, so I'll go ahead and do that.

1. Where you're located?
- I currently reside on a U.S. military installation near Gunsan South Korea.

2. What's your age?
- I am 25 years old.

3. How did you get into "the game"?
- Probably by hitting puberty, lol. I've only recently discovered that there was an industry devoted to the systematic seduction of women. About three months ago a friend of mine gave me a book entitled 'How to Become an Alpha Male' by John Alexander. I really ate it up. Then I found some YouTube videos by Gambler, and I decided to join this forum.

4. How long you've been studying and practicing pickup?
- Not very long to be honest. I think I've only been really studying it for the last month.

5. Which pickup method(s) do you like to use.
- I really am attracted to what's called 'Natural Game'. I am all for being the best person one can be. For instance becoming a better dresser, conversationalist, etc, but I don't want to do anything especially contrived.

6. What are your hobbies/passions?
- This could be a long list, but I'll try to keep it short by generalizing. I really like philosophy and science. I love nature, and I really like art, especially music, film, and architecture. I really like food, good bear, and traveling. I also love basketball. I don't get much of a chance to play anymore, but when I do, I find I still haven't lost my love for it. I also took-up dance lessons as a way to pick-up women about two months before I left the states. It didn't work, but I found I really like dancing, especially the Viennese Waltz, and Swing. I hope to find a dancing community here in South Korea. I also think PUA could become a passion of mine. As I mentioned above. I love science, and I really like how the PUA community tries to take a scientific approach to trying to understand human behavior. I am pretty sure that at some point people will read about some of the findings that come from this stuff in scientific journals, or perhaps even textbooks. This is really quite fascinating.

7. What are your goals?
- Insofar as PUA is concerned, my immediate goal is to go on more dates, with the type of women I want to date. In a very general sense, I believe science tells us that human's are social animals. Our survival as both a species and as individuals depends on how well we get along with each other. So although it would certainly be nice to date a lot of women, and have those women be the gals I want to date; in the broader sense, increasing my socials skills should enhance every aspect of my life in a positive manner.

8. What's your story?
- Much like many other stories you hear within the PUA community. I've always been really awkward with people, especially women. My social skills have improved quite tremendously over the past three or four years. I've even been laid a couple times. However it was never because of anything I did. I never knew what I did to make those women attracted to me, and so I could not replicate it. When I am in a bar or club it's especially bad. I usually get rejected within the first few seconds, sometimes before I even say hello. It's really an ego killer, but I've stuck with it. I've tried to learn from my mistakes, and there has been slight improvement. Now I've discovered this PUA community, and I really hope to accelerate that improvement.
